A thin and very flexible LED light source, our high lumen-output 10-watt white LED tape meets a wide variety of needs. With 120 LEDs per metre, each one a branded 3528 SMD, our white LED tape draws 9.6 watts to give up to 960 lumens (per metre), and will last for 50,000 hours of continuous use. Our 10-watt tapes are available in a choice of 12V or 24V options.

InStyle’s white LED strip lights give a smooth effect when used to light any surface. Alternatively, LED strips can be used in conjunction with our aluminium extrusions. Fitted into the extrusions, light from LED strips will be smoothly diffused.

Like all of our strip lighting range, InStyle LED’s 10-watt white LED tape is available in standard 5m reels and can be cut to the nearest 50mm, for all types of projects from home to hotels. If you need something larger or smaller, we can cut and solder your order to whatever length you need.

Twice as bright as 5-watt LED tape – which is usually fine for coving lighting etc – 10-watt LED tape is ideal for providing brilliant feature lighting. We recommend that you consider the 10w option if you prefer bright feature lighting, or if you intend to position the LED tape in a location with strong ambient lighting. LED tape is only 8mm wide and is available to IP67 standards – fully protected against dust and the effects of immersion – so you can use our LED tape in bathrooms, externally, or in other areas where resistance to water is required.

InStyle LED has a range of different shades of white LED strip lights in stock – from warm white, all the way to pure white. We supply all the following kelvin rating whites as standard: 2700k / 3000k / 4000k / 5500k / 6000k / 6500k. We also have other varieties in stock and we can manufacture to your specific requirements on request if necessary.

InStyle LED supplies commercial grade LED Tape using premium components, built to last and always with consistent colour batching. If you wish to dim your LED tape, InStyle can offer the accessories you need, including DMX controllers and receivers, Triac (mains) dimming, 0-10v dimmers, and more.

Fully compatible with these LED controllers

FAQs

When looking to use white LED lighting you may think it would be a very simple choice to choose as there is only one option…white? Wrong; there are actually different various shades of white to choose from.

The 3 main shade descriptions of whites are:

Warm White (also known as soft white) – being described as warm white does not mean that it is warm to touch, the warm is actually describing the shade of white the LED lights up. Warm white tends to be a slightly yellow/brown in colour just like your standard halogen light bulbs. Warm white tends to be used to give a warm, homely feel. The technical specification of warm white is anything from 2700k – 3200k (lower being warmer)

Pure White (also known as daylight white, commercial white, bright white) – this is the closest resemblance to daylight white, it tends not to have any yellow (warm) or blue (cool) tint to it. This is used in commercial applications and also to highlight areas; it is generally brighter than warm white. On the kelvin scale pure white would be anything from 4500k to 6000k (lower being warmer)

Cool White – this white is used the least out of the 3 as it is generally too ‘cool’ (blue tint) for commercial and general use. However it is the brightest white and can be used to highlight areas. It still looks very white and the blue tint is extremely faint. This is great to create a cool, crisp feel. On the kelvin scale this would be 6500k+

LED strips are designed to be very flexible. Their PCBs (printed circuit boards) are so robust that many LED tape products can be bent up to 90 degrees with no difficulty.

Be aware that higher-power LED strips are less flexible than lower-power ones. This is because the LED modules are placed closer together on high-power strips, and require wider PCBs (for more heat dispersal).

1 option is with our dimmable transformers: these are available in 12v/24v and in 30w and 100w. These can then be dimmed off a standard Triac wall dimmer (standard in households).

We also have Triac dimmable receivers; these go in-between the transformer and the LED strip. These work with both 12v and 24v version and are ideal for larger projects that use larger transformers such as the 320w.

Another option is with our 0-10v receivers, these can be used for both the 12V and 24v version. They go in-between the transformer and the LED tape and can be linked to such systems as Lutron.

We also have the option to dim via DMX. We have DMX receivers available to work with DMX desks and systems to allow you to fully dim as required. Again these go in-between the Transformers and LED tape and can be linked together to dim all the receivers at once.

For this type of LED tape you will require just a transformer to get this working. You connect the 2 core starter lead coming out of one end. This is then wired to the transformer, red wire goes to + and the black wire is wired to -. The 2 core cable can be extended as required for you to mount the transformer as far away as required.

For more information, choose one of these links for support and advice on how to install either simple or larger LED tape projects.

Deciding on which wattage you require is all down to what kind of application you are fitting the LED tape in.

The 5w and 10w is ideal to be used as feature lighting. Lighting to highlight areas, as a secondary lighting. Ideal for covings, drop down ceilings signage etc. to give a smooth halo effect. The 10w would be preferred to the 5w for these applications if there is a high amount of ambient lighting.

The 15w and 20w is ideal to be used as general lighting or as feature lighting for areas larger than covings etc. For example washing down front bars / back bars / under kitchen cabinet lighting as ‘working light’.

IP67 Heat-shrink type is required in areas where you will need resistance to water. For example bathrooms, kitchens and exterior. The heatshrink version is waterproof but it cannot be submersed, for example in a pond. The IP67 Heat-shrink is a protective coating over the LED tape, this makes it easy to wipe to clean etc.

All the LED strips are cuttable. Each can be cut at various points, either 50mm,100mm,150mm or 200mm depending on whitch wattage version you have. We can either cut the lengths to your specific lengths as required or you can do this yourself. Once cut to length to join this to a transformer or another piece you will need to be capable of soldering, or if not we also supply 2 types of clips. One type is a starter lead clip, which is s clip that joins onto the off cut and has a cable coming out of it. The other clip is a ‘tape to tape clip’, this clip joins 2 pieces together.

If you’ve ordered your LED tapes cut to custom lengths from us, with all the starter-leads and flexible leads for corners that your project requires, then you’ve most likely got everything you need already!

But for some installations, the following accessories may prove useful:

We purchased 3m of this LED Tape with the deep surface extrusion at the light was bright enough for under cabinet lighting. It also look smooth as the diffuser worked well

IP67 is very easy to work with

Used the product for an exterior sign. The LED tape had a thin heat shrink coating for the IP67 instead of thick rubber, resin type. This made it easy to work with and very easy to cut and solder. Would use again

Great Product

I purchased 20m of the warm white 10w LED Tape to use in my hall way. I wanted to use this light as my main lighting in the hallway but not too bright. The LED tape was a lot brighter than I thought but the effect still looked great. I put 10m either side of the hall way shinning up onto the ceiling and got an electrician to wire directly to a on/off light switch. The effect look great as I had a carpenter put coving all the way around the ceiling for the LED tape to sit into and the actual LED tape couldn't be seen. This I would highly recommend as if you only want to see the effect and not the dots on the LED Tape.
